I am literally writing a five star review for an experience that never occurred! We're visiting family from NJ and this isn't our first time going to SC, but we have a 3 year old and it's time to do some fun things. We found Crazy Sisters on a search for dolphin watching and our son has been on a boat previously. We even came prepared with his own life vest so there was no need to worry about sizing. Driving from two hours away in Sumter at 7am, we were all excited. Somehow I missed the call for cancelation and didn't see it until we arrived. I walked in and was greeted with smiles, something we're not always used to in NJ. The staff was obviously sympathetic to our situation and of course safety is always paramount to having a good time. We totally understood and rescheduled for the following day and made the best of it. Que next day! Sun is out, weather is warmer than the day before. We're excited! We get the dreaded phone call for the cancelation. Again, super sympathetic and there's nothing that can be done about the weather. The young woman on the phone said she would expedite the refund since we were only staying a few short days and had other activities scheduled. We definitely look forward to coming back just based on how helpful the staff was! read more

We had a great fishing trip on the 4th of July!! My mom has been following Crazy Sister on Facebook for awhile and was determined to plan a fishing trip for the family. They are located south of Myrtle Beach and in a great location close to hotels, restaurants and stores like Walmart, Target, etc. There is plenty of parking and its not a long walk from the boat dock. We easily went inside the Crazy Sister store and checked in for our fishing trip. There is a lot of supplies and apparel/souvenirs you can purchase in the store. We went behind the store and downstairs to get in line for the fishing trip. Our trip was a deep sea fishing trip from 9am-5pm which I believe they only do on Wednesdays. There are a variety of trips throughout the week. They start boarding the boat about 10-15 minutes before 9am and people get there early to start lining up. We arrived around 8am and there was at least 25-30 people already in line, people want to pick a good spot on the boat. The captain passed out a sheet with the weight requirements and the limits on each fish you could catch and keep. You will be fined by the Game Warden if they find you with fish that are in violation. Getting on the boat and picking a spot went smoothly. We put our ticket on the hook of the fishing pole where we wanted to sit. The boat we were on was able to sit about 100 people but luckily our boat only had about 60-65 people on it. There was about 5-6 boat crew that was there to help with anything you needed and they work off of tips. TIP THE BOAT CREW!! They are great and very knowledgeable. They are always walking around and they are very quick to help out. They helped us measure our fish, tell us what fish we caught and they untangled a lot of lines while we were fishing. The boat provides you everything you need, fishing poles, bait (they provide squid, you can purchase other bait on the boat or bring your own) and baskets to put the fish you caught in. You can purchase or bring your own hand towels (I highly suggest them), string to put your fish on ( they are $3) and snacks. They have drinks (sodas, waters, beer) and snacks to purchase on the boat. You can bring a soft cooler to bring your own drinks and snacks but it has to be SOFT! No hard coolers at all. They crew has 2 freezers to keep your fish cold during the entire trip, 1 in the front and 1 in the back of the boat. They give you a number and you pick your fish up at the end of the trip. The captain did a great job of finding good fishing spots and knowing when to leave if the fishing slowed up or they just wasn't biting. We caught, red snappers, sea bass, shark, amber jack and a few other random fish. They were pretty good size fish, a few we had to throw back because they were not big enough. They trip was great, our family loves fishing together and its hard to find a good charter boat. Tickets were about $100 to fish all day, deep sea. The boat was in good condition, plenty of covered seating. There was separate bathrooms. Only cons were it was a few isolated storms in the area so that made the ride very rough. For 2 hours of running those waves it can make you a little sea sick but its not the captains fault. Thankfully the boat wast crowded to the 100 person capacity or it might of been annoying being so close to the people beside you and getting your line tangled several times. Overall we loved the fishing trip and we already trying to plan our next one! read more

NEVER AGAIN! if I could give zero stars I would. We have been renting pontoon boats from this Marina for half day fishing trips each year for about a decade for our annual family reunion trip to SC. It has gone down hill every year and I am not going back. Over the past several years we have rented two boats so we spend a lot of money. The boats are in shabby condition and the past two years we have had to been helped back into the dock because of problems with the boats (this year the steering cable broke and last year the engine wouldn't go up so got caught on a sand bar). Another frustration and disappointment is that they are ill equipped every single year to rent us fishing poles. Again, we have two boats full of people (total of 16) and they could only rent us 5 poles of which only 2 worked. The canopy on one boat was in absolute shreds...the whole operation is shabby!!!!! read more

Great dolphin watch for kids 3 and up.... My family loved it! They also just got brand new pontoon boats for 2021. My husband loved driving it around! read more

No dolphins but the experience was still awesome! Great ride, got some local history from the captain. Beautiful scenery and friendly crew. Worth it! read more

We rented Jet skis today and had a great time. We are first timers on jet skis but felt very comfortable with two guides who took us out. The inlet was a little rough but nothing my daughters, 19 & 22 couldn't handle. This was their first time as well. Once we were outside in the ocean we were given some boundaries in where we could ride while the guides stood by for safety. I was so happy we did this... It was a blast. Crazy Sister is a first class marina read more

Awful experience. Booked the Sidekick 1/2 day private fishing charter. Went to marina in person to schedule and paid ($700) the day before our trip. The woman at the desk told us to be at the marina by 7am for a 7:30am launch. We arrived at 6:30am and checked in. Waited until 7:30am and the boat crew never showed up. We went into the marina again, just to find out they never told the boat owner he was booked. Terrible process all around. We Waited until after 8am and they still didn't show up. Boat owner Finally got there without a helper, would have been another hour + before we got out. Apologized but didn't offer to stay out longer or anything. Ended up leaving with two VERY sad kids. Very unorganized, poorly run, over priced and TERRIBLE customer service. Do not book here u will be disappointed. :( I'd give ZERO stars if it was an option read more

BEWARE...don't make plans with them...they will CANCEL!! 2 nights in a row our reserved and paid sunset cruise was canceled! 7/5/19 & 7/6/19, we understood on the 5th but not on the 6th, their reason was not enough ppl signed up....so why not take those who have paid and planned for it for 2 days???!!!!! They called at 4:20 after we left the beach to go get ready etc..... very disappointing, ruining our afternoon....I will not recommend or book with them again!!! read more

I would give this no stars if I could. They only care about money and here's why. First, they try to cram as many people on that boat as humanly possible, there had to be 50+ people on that boat. Second, it took AN HOUR AND A HALF out of the trip to go out all the way to the middle of the ocean to the point where there was no land to be seen. On a half day trip, an hour and a half is a pretty big chunk of time to be traveling all that way, not to mention having to travel all the way back by 12:30. Third, once we were out there, about 7-10 people were indoors in the cabin sick and throwing up including my sister. She had her line in the water for 5 minutes before she got sick and didn't fish for the rest of the time. There was no mention about the sea sickness up front when they made sure to tell us no refunds so we could prepare and reading these reviews it seems that this is a common theme on this specific charter. Fourth, and this ties in with the amount of people, almost everyone on the boat was getting snagged at the bottom with other people's lines from the other side of the boat. It was an annoyance and really cut into the very limited time we had. And the last thing and probably the worst, was the greed the mates had when they came into the cabin to collect their "tips." They started at all the people in the cabin who were sick shoving the bucket in my face while I was checking on my sister expecting me to give them more money for catching nothing. I actually felt sickened by this, because they knew very well that we had a terrible experience and still expected us to tip. I'm very generous and I always tip, but I just couldn't see myself tipping these guys for the terrible time we had to endure, my sister told me she was so relieved to get off that boat, and for the whole day she couldn't stop talking about how glad she was to be away from that boat. I've been on many fishing charters and I've never had an experience remotely close to this one. It's always about fun and catching fish which we always do, but this one was terrible. I would not recommend this to my worst enemy. read more

Went on the deep sea fishing trip. It was incredibly hot and we didn't catch much which doesn't make for happy campers so to speak. It was also extremely crowded. There is no room to move and the lines are always getting tangled up. They should reduce the capacity some. read more

I had family and friends in town and decided to take them on the blue wave adventures dolphin watch. It was such a relaxing boat ride and we even got to see a sea turtle! As a local I love hearing of businesses that are doing everything in their power to conserve our environment. read more

We went for the dolphin tour yesterday- we had a large group and were all able to sit next to each other which was great. Nicole was very kind and Captain Jamie was incredibly knowledgeable about the marine life. We saw a TON of dolphins and had an awesome time. Captain Jamie told some great jokes and stories, and it was an all around wonderful and positive experience. 10/10 would recommend :-) read more

This is the place to go for near shore fishing. We had Fish finder II. Captain Jaime was the best of the best. He optimized our time and we did catch fish which we ate that evening. We always catch fish with the Crazy Sister! Don't wait, be sure to book early! read more

If I could give this place less than 1 star I would. We had a continental fishing trip planned for Wednesday, it got canceled. They called me to let me know Tuesday night. So we booked for the 11 he fishing trip on Friday. We arrived at 630am and no one was here. After they opened they informed us that the trip had been canceled yet no one called. They type my bfs number was put into the computer wrong apparently so they called the wrong and left a voicemail and didn't bother to call the secondary number in file (which they called on Tuesday). I wouldn't recommend anyone to book a trip through Crazy Sister Marina. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE read more

Had a deep see fishing trip planned to the Gulf Stream. After 3 months of planning and a 6 hour trip to get here we were off for a whole day of fishing. One hour into an eleven hour trip one of the other boats from the marina had a mechanical failure and started taking on water. We had to stop and rescue the passengers and crew. No problem here, that had to be done. The problem was the fact that they decide to cancel our trip and return to the dock. No apologies from the captain or crew. Nothing!!!!!!!! Just go get your money back. Complete BULLSHIT!!!!!! I go deep see fishing in Destin, Fl every year, always a great experience with the captain and crew and all of the equipment. From reading some of the other reviews it seem like the marina is letting every thing go to shit!!!! If your taking vacation and spending your hard earned money. Go to Florida where they appreciate your business and go out of their way to give you the trip of a life time South Carolina will get no more of my money. I never give reviews but I thought other people needed to know what to expect when you come to this shit hole. read more

When going to the Marshwalk or any restaurant in the marina, you definitely should walk out onto the boardwalk that juts way out into the marsh. It's totally free and the view is beautiful. Make sure to take a look over at Goat Island as you view the boats passing by or even fish with the local fisherman. There is a small bar right here in the marina, and restaurants and tourist attractions are accessible from the boardwalk, including parasailing, speed boat rides, jet ski and paddle board rentals, and sail boat rides. It's definitely great for a sunset walk after enjoying dinner on a date or with the family. read more

We took the Salt Water Marsh tour (http://captdicks.com/salt_water_marsh.php) and it was a blast! It was a tour of Murrle's Inlet's pure salt-water marsh and it's wildlife. They had a few crab traps set out beforehand so we could observe the local crabs:Blue, Stone, and Spider. They also did a few dredges of the marsh bottom and we found of course oysters, fish, coral, and even some jellyfish. The trip was both educational and fun. I remember doing this tour years ago and it was just as fun this time as it was then. The marsh is such an incredible part of out Earth. Murrles Inlet is a perfect place to explore its diversity. And this tour is perfect for a great overview of its uniqueness. read more

Went on a fishing trip with family! So much fun! The capt Shane drove us to the locations with the best fish, he had a sonar locator that would put us on the best parts of the ocean so we were always bring up fish! He would bait the hooks and even get the fish off the hooks once they are caught! I hope people take advantage if this. We took a private charter which for 6 people was only about $120 a person! Good stuff read more

Great facility friendly and helpful staff. Rented a skiff for a full day and had a great experience. Boat was a typical rental, some things were worn and not functional, but for the most part worth renting. Would rent from them again and will. read more

Awesome captain!!!!! Had a wonderful time he is very knowledgeable about the dolphins.

My family and I and some friends (all 9 of us) rented a pontoon boat for the day..from 1 to 5. The boat was large enough to accommodate us all. The area we were allowed to travel within was large enough to spend the whole day out there. The staff was great...everything was clean..no problems are all. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to rent a boat or jet ski for the day. They also rent fishing gear as well. Wish I'd done that. All in all, an awesome experience. read more

Amazing!!! We were lucky enough to find Crazy Sister!! The staff is very professional and courteous. For first timers they are very patient and ensure that all of the safety is understood. We were fortunate that even though we were only doing the jet skis we were also able to see the dolphins while we were out. There is an area to hang out on the dock if you are just a spectator while you wait for everyone to get back. The area is surrounded by a lot of restaurants and bars. . read more

People were friendly. First part of the trip I thought the boat ride was gonna be the highlight of the dolphin watch. Then they came out and it was just beautiful. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to see live wild dolphins. read more

My biggest issue with the experience was the global warming and anti-off-shore oil drilling propaganda fed to us on the way back to the dock. I didn't pay to hear someone's political opinions on how global warming is (or isn't) affecting the area, nor how off-shore drilling will affect the region. If they want to make their statement after the tour, on their own time if people are willing to listen, go for it. But don't force me to listen to it when I'm stranded on a boat. I didn't pay to be force fed their opinions. Will not return simply because of this. The trip was fine and the staff was very nice. A lot of the 90 minutes is spent traveling to and from the actual area(s) where dolphins MAY be found. I'm not sure how transparent they are up front about the possibility that no dolphins may be sited. To me, this was a given but do know it's possible that you may go out and see nothing. If you enjoy the boat ride for what it is, it's worth the money. If you're primarily paying to see dolphins, do note that even if you see them, it's not like an aquarium where they are right up in your face. They're going to be some ways away and you'll experience them from afar in their natural habitat. read more

We loved our dolphin cruise! Definitely worth the money and will be back. Saw plenty of dolphins during our 8:00am ride. My 4 year old screamed the whole time so I wouldn't recommend it for smaller children. Captain and the crew were very informative about the area and the music onboard was great! read more

We went on the evening shark fishing head boat. Crew was awesome but there were just too many people aboard. 110 plus 5 crew when they had a maximum occupancy of 75. No sharks were caught, mostly smaller sea bass. A good time, just wish they really need to drop the maximum people aboard. read more

We booked a parasailing trip and loved it. The next day, we had a sport fishing trip with Captain Shane. We loved the trip and caught a bunch of fish! We highly recommend Crazy Sister Marina and Captain Shane!! read more

If you are at Crazy Sister Marina, you are either here to eat/drink/or water sport, I have done all and recommend, just be careful crossing the road if you parked on the other side because it's ripe for an accident during busy times. read more

When we called to make reservations for 11, we were happy to immediately get wonderful customer service from Mandy, who was very helpful. We did not want one of the large boats with scores of people on it, which was one reason for choosing this place. The boat is a coast-guard type; I think they said it holds 22. We had 16 maybe. The cruise through the inlet was really fun, but when we got to the ocean, it was choppy enough to be scary so we headed back in. The guide/captain/pilot (no idea what to call him) was delightful - very nice, informative, funny. In the end we didn't get to dolphin watch due to the weather, but we got an easy refund. We will definitely go back here and try it again next year. read more

This was the highlite of my trip to Myrtle Beach in 2013. My family and I went deep sea fishing and it was such a great experience. We felt safe the entire time, despite the very choppy water, and the staff onboard were really helpful anytime there was a tangled line or if we needed help getting the fish off the hook. If you catch the biggest fish you get a free fishing trip that can be used within 12 months... which my uncle won so we are VERY excited to be going on this adventure again. read more

My sister and I did the dolphin tour. This is the second time going and both times have been great. The tour is fun with guides that really seem to care about the dolphins read more

This is the end of the marsh walk area. I suggest anyone in the area walk along the boardwalk that goes behind all these businesses. It's got some great views of the marsh area along with some history placards along the way to learn around the area. Plus a bunch of places to eat. Crazy Sister Marina had a fishing boat coming in when we walked by and got to watch the people coming off the boat with their catches which the kids enjoyed. The marina store itself has some shirts, bathrooms and icecream for the kids. read more

We went on the half day sea bass fishing and huge tip if u never been on a boat before please take some sea medicine the day before and a hour before trip. The reason I say this cause it was my first time and oh my gosh did I got super sick!!! I only caught one fish .. my husband in the other hand got a lot of 12 inch bass I say around 10 during the trip the captain moves to diff location each time. *Tip Have cash!! And get the minnows the squid they provided barely got any bites that was $5.00 a cup and enough for 2 people. The downside too many people which caused some people lines to hooked with each other I would recommend going to the front. The lines went under the boat depending on how the boat was faced. I only had one snag .. my husband had none.. I did notice other people have snags lots of them.. Overall it is a good trip keep in mind u are only catching bass and once in a while someone catches a shark. There is also a fish pool that a dollar which was really cool and u win a free half day fishing trip good for one year. This is not for little kids i would say 8 and up read more

We took our three kids to this marina for the dolphin boat ride. The staff were very informative about safety on the boat and the dolphin behaviors and patterns of travel. We didn't see any but the ride was fun and the coastline scenery of the ocean front homes and resorts was breathtaking. When we return to MB we will try this operation again and hope to see the dolphins. read more

Booked the morning half day sea bass fishing. If you want to go out for some sea bass but not spend all day catching fish, this trip is priced perfect, timed just right for the afternoon to be yours, and very personable crew on the boat. The crew is ready and eager to assist you in every way possible. The trip is good for first timers, youth, or anyone just wanting the fishing fix. I recommend packing a light snack and drinks; however there is a snack bar available onboard. If you want to fish for more than sea bass take the 3/4 day or full day fishing trip. read more

We went out in Fish Finder 2 with Captain Jack. Fishing wasn't as good as we had hoped because of the recent rains but still had a great time on the water. Caught a bunch of croakers several sea bass that were just under the legal length and a few small sharks. Captain Jack is a talker but will move if not catching the fish, plenty of knowledge and experience. Professional, courteous business will use again but next time book the Gulf Stream trip to catch some big fish! read more

Although we weren't lucky enough to see any dolphins, we were elated to have seen 5-6 leatherback turtles. The captain told us they're only in the area about a month out of the year, so it felt super special. My husband and I really enjoyed the boat ride, and the captain and crew were all very friendly. At the end of the tour the captain stamped our receipts for a return tour since we didn't see dolphins. This was a gracious gesture, and we would have gone back another day had we not be heading back home the day after. It was a fun experience and worth the money. Would recommend. read more
